Conditions are limited. There are candles, but they are difficult to take out. Shen Qingli simply took out a box of matches from his pocket to serve as candles. If there are no conditions, we can be flexible and create them ourselves.
"Happy birthday to you~"
Shen Qingli clapped her hands and sang only four sentences before stopping. Because everyone was a little confused, although they subconsciously raised their hands to clap the beat, no one sang along. She was the only one who was so embarrassed!
"Mom, close your eyes, put your hands together and make a wish."
Gigi Lai looked around the dining table with a sweet smile on her face and closed her eyes. Shen Qingli quickly inserted a match while she was making a wish. The match burned for too short a time, so she could only light it when Gigi Lai opened her eyes.
"Mom, just blow it out."
Gigi Lai did everything her daughter said step by step, feeling very happy. This was the happiest birthday she had ever had.
"Okay, okay, let mom make the first cut." Shen Qingli handed the fruit knife to Gigi Lai with the tip of the knife facing inward and the handle facing outward.
As she said that, she asked Meng Xiao to go to the kitchen and quickly get a few white porcelain plates.
Shen Qingli thought the first piece of cake belonged to her grandparents or mother, but she didn't expect her mother to give her the first piece of cake she cut.
However, Shen Qingli didn't say anything. Saying anything would seem to be rejecting his mother's good intentions. Besides, no matter whether he gave it to his mother or his grandparents, they would definitely not want it and he couldn't give it to them.
She changed her mind and thought, as a family, it’s best for them to get along harmoniously, without so many twists and turns.
When everyone gets a piece of cake, this simple birthday cake has accomplished its mission.
Although it is not perfect, it has been unanimously praised by everyone and the evaluation is quite high.
"I feel that Qingqing's food is better than what I've had before. I've never had that before, and the first few bites were quite good, but I felt a bit sick of it if I couldn't finish a whole piece.
The texture of this bread and butter is much better than those, and with mango and peach in the middle, it has a cool and refreshing feeling. It’s awesome!”
Gigi Lai gave her daughter a thumbs-up and couldn't help but take another bite. "Ah! Delicious! Satisfied!"
Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen, the two elderly people, also nodded: "That's what your mother said, not bad, not bad."
As he was about to feed the baby in his arms, Shen Qingli quickly stopped him:
"Grandpa, they are too young to eat. They are too young children. I haven't started feeding them yet."
"Okay, okay, I won't feed you then."
The old man is quite open-minded. Young people have their own way of raising children, and they should just not interfere.
Everyone's life is different from before, and the way of raising children is naturally different from before.
"Have a drink?" Chen Ping looked at Meng Xiao with the bottle of wine, as if he wanted to pour it for him.
"I'm driving, Dad. We have to go to the campground to register and return the car later."
Shen Ping didn't say much after hearing this. He knew that they had strict discipline. He hadn't thought it through just now. Drinking and driving was not a good idea, and there were several other people in the car.
The old man doesn't drink, and the son-in-law doesn't drink either, so he has to drink it himself.
Shen Qingli glanced at him. Originally, he wanted him to drink and drive himself, but after hearing what Meng Xiao said, he decided to give up. He had to go and register the car himself, and drinking would not have a good effect.
Besides, the Shen family didn’t know she could drive.
Shen Qingli glanced at Meng Xiao, and Meng Xiao thought she was praising him for not drinking. He felt happy to receive the praise from his wife.
He excitedly pushed the cake in front of him towards Shen Qingli: "If you like it, eat more. It's all yours."
Shen Qingli: ………
"You eat it. I'm going to finish mine and I want to eat some home-cooked food." She felt a little confused by Meng Xiao's shy and doting eyes. What's wrong with this guy?
Gigi Lai and Shen Ping wanted to take the two children from their elders, but the elders were reluctant to let go.
"Dad, Mom, you've been holding them for so long, and we haven't even taken a look at them since they walked in."
After Shen Ping's persuasion, the two elders were willing to let go.
During the meal, he kept looking at the child and wanted to take him home. Chen Ping and Gigi Lai pretended not to see him because they also wanted to spend time with their grandson.
Shen Qingli was also happy to have some free time.
After dinner, the family chatted affectionately about family matters after not seeing each other for a while. The two kids were carried around and became everyone's happy pills, until they were tired from playing and fell asleep.
Grandpa and grandma were old and a little exhausted, so Shen Qingli and Meng Xiao were ready to get up and leave.
"Wait, wait." Gigi Lai hurriedly took out a bunch of things, including snacks, food ingredients such as meat, eggs, rice, noodles, and toys.
Shen Qingli's nose felt sore.
"Mom, I'm here to pick up some things. Why are you going to give me so much when I get back? You can keep it for yourselves. We have everything."
She suddenly remembered the saying that a married woman is a guest in her parents' home.
It’s not that the Shen family treated her as an outsider, but she felt jealous when she saw the family bringing her big bags of things every time she came back.
But she also understood that this was all their love.
"It's not much, not worth much. We still have some left, you can take it. And this is the fish-startling stone and black dog teeth that your father asked his colleagues to find specially. They are polished and braided with rope.
It's too late to go home today, and we're walking at night. You should put it close to the two children later, okay? The peach branch is too conspicuous. If someone sees it, they'll accuse you of feudal superstition.
It's just a small thing to carry around with you, just like a decoration, it's nothing special."
Gigi Lai gave detailed instructions and personally put the Fish Shocking Stone on He He and the Black Dog Fang on An An.
